One Priority, Multiple Strategies: Finding the Right Lockout Tagout Program for Your Facility with Smallwood Lock & Supply

At Smallwood Lock & Supply, we understand that workplace safety is paramount. Developing an effective Lockout Tagout (LOTO) program requires a comprehensive approach including audits, training, inspections, and clearly documented procedures.

The Importance of Updated Safety Programs

An effective safety program must remain current. Ask yourself:

  • Has your facility completed an Arc Flash Assessment within the last five years?
  • Are your qualified electrical workers up-to-date with NFPA 70E® and LOTO training?

If you answered "no" or "I'm not sure," you could face serious consequences from fines to workplace injuries. That's where our partnership with industry leader Master Lock can guide you toward compliance.

Two Effective Approaches to LOTO Program Management

Multipoint Approach

This strategy distributes safety responsibilities among multiple team members. Smallwood Lock & Supply supports this approach by offering:

  • Expert procedure writing using Master Lock's serialized isolation point methodology
  • Training to enhance your team's procedure writing skills
  • Leadership development through Master Lock's industry expertise
  • Strategic equipment optimization with properly placed locks and devices

Single Point Approach

This method centralizes safety responsibilities with one dedicated professional. We support this approach by:

  • Reducing workload through efficient procedure writing assistance
  • Providing access to Master Lock's eLOTO software for streamlined documentation
  • Connecting you with specialized training resources for your staff
  • Facilitating essential safety assessments including Arc Flash Risk Assessments
  • Supplying the complete range of Master Lock safety equipment

Your Customized Safety Partner

Every facility has unique requirements based on available resources and organizational structure. Whether you choose a multipoint or single-point strategy, Smallwood Lock & Supply serves as an extension of your team, providing industry-leading products, expert strategies, and resources to ensure compliance and workplace safety.
